Nurturing Plants and People at the Learning GardenThis exciting community venture has seen 5,000ft² of our
car park transformed into a living and breathing space,
complete with vegetable and herb plots, wild flowers,
herbaceous and perennial beds, as well as established
trees and shrubs.
Waste Not Want Not is a social enterprise and
community interest company based in the North car park
of The Galleria.
Environmental Efforts
Established four and a half years ago, the project uses
horticulture as a therapeutic tool to help those who
have experienced major traumas in their lives get back
on track. There are also volunteers who wish to put
something back into their community and learn new
horticulture skills.
Waste Not Want Not sell the plants in the Learning
Garden, and all monies taken are ploughed back into the
project (there are no paid staff).
The garden is a little bit of heaven in Hatfield and is the
perfect space for some peace and quiet to enjoy your
lunch break so do please drop by with your picnic lunch
and enjoy the garden.
The learning garden is open Tuesdays 10am – 2pm,
however this is reliant on volunteer availability, so we
advise that you call and check ahead of visiting please.
Waste Not Want Not are keen to recruit more volunteers to help man the Learning Garden. Please phone Hal Fowler on 01438 941168 or email with your contact details.
